Art Deco Inspired Palm Springs Engagement// Jackie + Scott

I hope you had an amazing Christmas and I am soo excited to share the photos of 

these two love birds! 

They are two very very special people to our family! 

They have a love that has stood the test of time, 5 states, Bachelors degrees, and now

now masters, and lots of epic laugh sessions. 

Jackie (my husbands sister and now mine...hooray!) and Scott met in elementary school 

and have been high school sweet hearts...awwww! My heart swells! Right! 

Anyone can see the joy they bring to each other as best friends and soul mates. 

I hope you enjoy their lovely engagement session set among the 

stunning Palm Springs Desert. 

Congratulations you two awesome people!! Soon happy for you!

{Jeremy + Alyssa} Santa Barbara Wedding

Hello and happy Friday!! Weddings are such a personal event for the couple involved, from the ceremony preparations, to the invitations, to the guest list. Every decision is a reflection of the love birds to be. I adore my couples and was smitten with Jeremy and Alyssa right from the start. They are incredibly kind and fun. They had a beautiful intimate Beach Wedding in Montecito, Ca with their closest family and friends...simply lovely!! A beautiful beach ceremony ensued, followed by a delicious dinner and celebration surrounded by the one's they adore.
 Alyssa and Jeremy had gorgeous details sprinkled throughout their entire day...

Vintage hand beaded belt...divine!

I am in L-O-V-E with this bouquet...

Isn't she gorgeous?!

Such a sweet and thoughtful table setting with vintage glass and turquoise accents...

Their theme was peacock feathers and the cake did not disappoint...lovely!

Seriously, you guys are adorably in love...I am smitten!

Congrats you two love birds!!! 

And a special thanks to Jackie for being my second shooter...xoxox! 

Have a delightful weekend!!
